Over one hundred men and thirty
horses and carts are employed at the
big break in the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal at the eulvert over the little
Monocacy. The work is being done
under the personal supervision of
President Baughman, Mr.. Stephen
Gambrill and Superintendent Biser.
1t is claimed that this was the largest
bottom break that ever occurred in the
canal. 1t VIII require over twenty
thousand carloads of dirt to fill it.
An examination on Monday of the
culvert revealed the fact that its
pavement and sides had been con-
siderably damaged. To repair it will
necessitate the building of another
coferdam and troughs. The total
cost of the repairs will be between
three and four thousand dollars. 1t
is expected that navigation may be
resumed on Saturday.

+ PARKERsBURG, May 9.-Senator
Faulkner is in the city and the guest
of ex-senator Camden. a private
conference was held this afternoon in
the Office of Col. George w. Thomp-
son. ~
| Thompson is Camden's brother-in-
law and is president of his Ohio River
railroad. We do not see why "con-
ference" was necessary or why it was
"private." Formerly the "private
conferences" to dictate the action of
West Virginia Democrats were held
at Barnum's hotel in Baltimore, and
We are of the opinion that the day for
these" conferences" is passed. Faulk.
ner will previously disappoint expec-
tation if he permits himself to appear
as the puppet of "private confer
ence'-especially, one held in the of
flee of railroad president. Faulkner
has brains enough to be his own man
he has far more natural talent than
those who are now scheming to "use''
him.
Beware Of the politician who claims
to be "a party organizer" Encour.
age the men who believe that the way
to organize is to make appeals to the
enlightened and patriotic judgment OF
voters. ,Erst}st hBf
We need some man in front who
will stand as pillar of fire for the gui.
dance of the true Democracy in this
State. If we had only one such man,
the false lights now held aloft by pre-.
tended leaders would pale, into insig.
snifcance. We have a surfeit of poll.
ticians; we need one statesman. Oui
people are weary of the hypocrisy and
sick of the plattitudes of our present
politicians, which sound loud but
mean nothing. We need bold man
who has enlightened convictions and
is not afraid to express the conclusions
of his own judgment. The people
will follow such a man. q" The mod
ern practices in politics of pandering
to this sentiment and that of shut.
ting ones eyes to the truth and look.
ing only for what is polite and popu.
lar; of temporizing with cranks
demagogues and tricksters, instead OF
sending them to the rear; and OF
honey-fuggling with rascals instead o.
hitting them death-blow between
the eyes-these practices have well
nigh destroyed the honest mans faith
in the sincerity and integrity of Dem
ocratic leadership West Va. Demo

A colored man named William
Banks, of Martinsburg, was brought
before Justice Miller on Wednesday
last charged with stoning Conductor
j. e. Magillis on the 9Th. Banks,
with several others was stealing ride
upon the freight train of which the
conductor was in charge, and being
put off at this point, threw stone

leg, infiicting painful, though not
very serious bruise. He was arrested
in Berkeley county, and brought be-
fore ajustice there, who, upon learn
ing the offence was committed in this
county, decided that he had no juris-
diction. The negro came along with
his accusers, went before Justice Mil
Ter, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
to pay fine Oslo, and be committed
to Jail for ten days unless the fine
should be sooner paid. He is doubt
less in for ten days board at the coun-
ty's expense.--Keyser Echo.

AS Mr.. Karicofe and family who
reside near Falling Waters bridge,
was endeavoring to reach home by
way of the tow path of the canal, on
Tuesday evening last, they met with
what might have proven serious
accident. Himself, wife and daugh-
ter were seated in the carriage and
had a buggy attached behind, and in
endeavoring to reach the towpath
from the river bottom at this place,
the horse choked and fell upsetting
both vehicles and throwing the wife
and daughter out and Mr.. Karicofe
under the front carriage, where he
remained until several of our citizens
who were near reached the spot and
set things right. Had not the horse
been a gentle one the result would
have been serious, but all escaped
with slight bruises and no damage to
horse or vehicles. He continued on
hisjourney and reached home in safe
ty.- Wiltidnasport Leader.
